Hmm, weird how people say non-selective schools did bad. Our school cherrybrook tech got our highest as being 100 uai, not to mention he was our school captain, which makes it even harder. Looks like our public schools are gonna start beating selectives.

Yeah, I agree.. I kinda stuffed up my first economics asssessment task last year. But it doesnt really matter. In fact the first assessments are usually used to give you a taste of whats coming up so that you can be well prepared. The main thing is that if you did quite bad in your first...

Hmm, very interesting. I actually attend the leading edge tuition, and it looks like almost the whole of the sydney area use leading edge textbook. And only like 5-6 schools (from what I heard from our tutor) had used Tim Riley's book. I suppose, its good to read Riley's book first, to...

Wooow *follows kimmeh and does 3 supplementary texts =P Hmm good idea actually... should our 3 texts be in different form? like Article, movie..etc? probably should...

Hmm, If you downloaded my summary from that other topic of Finding Nemo. It should provide you with a good starting point.. However, this is advice from a hsc english marker, and I kinda agree. "Finding Nemo fails to achieve the aspects of a physical journey, and its lack of sophistication...

Lol, well i said "we're" refering to me and tabul.. Anyway, I think your class is slow this time lolz, cos we have already started motors and generators.. We just had that assessment task squeezed in the end of our school term...

hmm.. if u're saying that we're behind..then where exactly is your class up to? We've actually finished space, but we got this end of year assessment task to do with escape velocity.. our teacher noted that there would be some calculations in it..

I agree with tabularasa. The text, is either way a too "simplistic text." It fails to provide any in-depth message. Furthermore, its lack of connection with the core texts as well as stimulus text makes Finding Nemo simplistic in its issues..

XP I'm doing speculative fiction and its sooo interesting, we explore things which project into the future. Hmm, I heard from the other english extension class doing revenge and tragedy is that it gets quite interesting as u progress through the course.. ;)

Lol, omg. Stark is the worst, once when I had her in year 9 or something, some girl rushed into our door, and swore at mrs stark. lolz, I kinda now know y. >< seriously, having stark as your english advanced teacher, its your worst nightmare, and she gave A to a person who didnt even...

Sure, I've recently researched like a whole list, (but its on paper). So, I'll give u some of my related poems/bookcovers/articles.. Poems: > The man from snowy mountain by A.B. Banjo Paterson > Sea Fever by John Marefield > The nightmail by W.H. Auden > Africa my beginning by...

I suppose we're all in teh same boat. But for those doing speculative ficiton, u'll find that its a really really interesting genre, a meta genre as my teacher says. Althoguh u may hate the subject due to the extensive amount of time used on one unit, its really worthwhile, continue doing it...

Basically, if u analyse finding nemo through my summary, like in distinguishing the stages of a physical journey, it will greatly help you with relating to your core text and stimulus text. Leaving home is a stage in our physical journey in which one is forced upon this journey by the department...

yeah, the stargate series is really really good. Stargate the movie Stargate SG-1 Stargate Atlantis (the newest stargate, out on bittorent)

LOL.... well personally I havent really had her.. but heard that she was just as shocking and critical in english as Mrs. Stark.. Ack, at least u got a good englsih advanced teacher, I have like stark.. omg.. its like a total nightmare.. I learn more stuff from books and study notes from hsc...

ouch..sounds kinda late.. :P You know even sending a textual analysis is useless, cos it depends on your questions set upon physical journeys. My question had dealt with the concept of "It is the journey that matters, not the arrival. " Hence, if u can supply me the question, I can help...

coool ^^ Is your english extension teacher the one with red hair and wears glasses Tabularasa? :eek:

Lol, there are many many related texts to Physical Journeys. Feature articles: Long Journey River of Daydreams SMH Lyrics, movies as well as other poems of related material is further discussed in posts in this same sub-forum..

yeah, smurg is right.. Mr. Thornhill is teaching Spec Fiction the other teacher wearing glasses is teaching crime and tragedy or something like that.. Omg, its getting like soo bad, cos my friends left the class... so, it really makes me want to think if i should leave, but then i really like...

Umm, they gave us the Dune Book itself.. Just trying to get as much info on the book as possible. Because, its relatively harder to analyse a novel for specific issues, whereas in English advanced, u just focus on a poem or somethign rite now.. and not in too much depth.. XD anyways, i...
